The Little Tiger
— —
The little girl was wearing an adult's down jacket. It was silver-grey, very common. There were a few long holes on the jacket, and the down inside was struggling to get out.
The zipper of the down jacket was broken. It was tied together with a rope as a button, so it was not tight. The jacket was a bit long, and it reached her knees. Only her calves and feet were exposed. One of her shoes was a worn gray sneaker, and the other was a slightly bigger red shoe.
Maybe because the height of the two pairs of shoes was different, the little girl was walking a bit unnaturally.
She stood in front of Chu Yunsheng nervously, as if she was afraid that someone would see through her.
But her eyes were staring at the bowl of porridge in Chu Yunsheng's hand without blinking.
"Hmm, come and try it." Chu Yunsheng suddenly remembered the little girl who died in the car in the sea of corpses. His heart skipped a beat, and he handed the bowl to her. It was useless to say anything else. The little girl's eyes were filled with endless desire and hunger.
She didn't seem to hear what Chu Yunsheng said.
"Try it …" Chu Yunsheng tried to show a smile.
"Ah!" The little girl looked at the bowl of porridge in Chu Yunsheng's hand and screamed. She finally heard what Chu Yunsheng said. She raised her hand that was hidden in her long sleeves. Just when she wanted to take the bowl of porridge, she abruptly retracted her hand.
"Uncle, just a small bite is enough for me," the little girl hesitated and said timidly.
"Uncle is not hungry, you can eat it." Chu Yunsheng held her hand and held the bowl of porridge.
"Then I will only take a small bite," the little girl promised.
She wobbled while holding the bowl of porridge, lowered her head, and tried to move it closer to her mouth. But she couldn't control her hunger. After taking a big mouthful, she reluctantly let go of the bowl. She even licked the edge of the bowl with her tongue.
"Is it good?" Chu Yunsheng put the little tiger on the ground and lit up a cigarette. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Yes, it's good!" the little girl kept nodding her head, and then obediently handed the bowl of porridge to Chu Yunsheng.
"It's good, you can eat it, uncle doesn't want it," Chu Yunsheng pushed the bowl away and said.
The little girl looked at Chu Yunsheng blankly. After a while, she asked carefully, "but you haven't eaten yet, aren't you hungry?"
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and did not say anything.
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't seem to be lying, the little girl thought for a second and said nervously, "thank you, uncle, can I let my mom eat some too? She hasn't eaten for several days."
Chu Yunsheng waved his hand and said stiffly, "whatever you want." He was a little annoyed.
The little girl was startled when she saw Chu Yunsheng suddenly became a bit "fierce". She didn't dare to say anything more. She held the bowl and slowly walked towards Lao Chui's group. On the way, she also looked back at Chu Yunsheng a few times.
In fact, Chu Yunsheng was not "angry" at her at all. It was just that the little girl had affected the emotions that he had buried deep in his heart for a long time. That hellish scene of the Heaven and Earth Killing Technique made him feel like his heart was hanging by a thread. But when he woke up, the little girl had already run away in fear. Chu Yunsheng could only laugh at himself.
But not long after, before Chu Yunsheng finished smoking the cigarette, he saw Lao Chui holding the bowl of porridge, leading a woman and a little girl, hurriedly walking towards him. Lao Chui walked very fast, so the woman could only follow closely behind him. The little girl was dragged away by the woman, and she was staggering a little.
"Mr. Chu, the child is too hungry, so she doesn't know anything. I will bring the food back to you, please don't go!" Lao Chui said anxiously. He then put the bowl of porridge in front of Chu Yunsheng.
Not long ago, because of the food incident that happened to Li Yue, someone almost died. Lao Chui didn't dare to offend these awakened warriors again. The gap between them and ordinary people was too big. Although they hired these seven awakened warriors, everyone knew that their positions were completely different from them.
When Lao Chui heard the little girl said that the new uncle gave her the porridge, he was very worried. He guessed that Chu Yunsheng was not satisfied with the food, so he wanted to leave. Because he heard from the little girl that Chu Yunsheng almost didn't eat anything. Even Zhao Shanhe, who Lao Chui trusted the most, only drank half of the porridge. Otherwise, how would he have the energy to deal with a dangerous situation?
"What do you mean you want to leave?" Chu Yunsheng was surprised.
Lao Chui was dazed for a second, then he blurted out, "you don't want to eat the porridge because you want to leave?"
Chu Yunsheng shook his head. The reason why he was willing to be hired by Lao Chui was not because they could provide him with food. His storage talisman had enough food for him. It was because when he saw Lao Chui, he suddenly had a complicated feeling of longing for a group. Also, if he was alone with the little tiger, he would not be able to travel 24 hours a day. He needed enough sleep to be able to deal with all kinds of sudden dangerous situations. But Lao Chui's team could change drivers, so they could travel 24 hours a day.
Because he did not know how many detours they would have to take, and what would happen in the next 150 kilometers, Chu Yunsheng felt that if he could reach Jin Ling city in a few days, it would be good enough.
Lao Chui also let out a long sigh of relief. If ordinary people did not have the protection of awakened warriors, they would definitely die if they ran into an insect.
As for the rest of the porridge, Chu Yunsheng told them that he had already given it to the little girl. The little girl wanted to give it to her mother, but her mother took a bite and gave it to Lao Chui. Lao Chui did not eat it, he took it back and gave it to the pregnant woman.
After the little girl's mother thanked him profusely, Zhao Shanhe ordered everyone to go back to the car. Then the whole team started to move again.
They were very lucky, they did not encounter a single monster when they walked along the edge of the radiation zone. On the contrary, they encountered three helicopters!
When they saw the helicopters, all the people in the car ran out, some even stood on the roof of the car and shouted for help.
Huang Renkuan was the most excited one. He even picked up Tian Weidai's gun and fired a few bullets into the air, hoping to attract the attention of the people in the helicopter.
Unfortunately, it seemed like the people in the helicopter did not move at all. They flew over everyone's head and plunged into the vast radiation zone. Gradually, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Huang Renkuan even ignored the calm and steady image that he had always maintained. He stood on the roof of the helicopter and cursed loudly. He swore that when he arrived at Jin Ling city, he would teach those people a lesson.
Chu Yunsheng sat in the car and did not move. He knew very well that the reason why the military sent out a helicopter at this time was not to search for survivors. There must be a mission that they had to go to. They would not turn back just for a group of survivors.
He still needed to rely on himself.
Chu Yunsheng seized the time to practice the Rong Yuan body. His sword fighting technique was restricted by the early stage of the Yuan Qi stage, so he could only cast out six sword shadows. If he encountered a small swarm of insects, it would be fine, but if he encountered a large swarm of insects, including those golden-shelled insects, he would die.
Moreover, he did not have any offensive talismans at the moment. He still needed to accumulate Ben Ti Yuan Qi to make more life-saving talismans.
If he could break through to Yuan Tian stage three as soon as possible, he could make a lot of monster seal talismans to imprison more monsters as cannon fodder.
At night, a car broke down. Lao Chui brought some people to fix it. Chu Yunsheng knew that he could not help much, so he leaned on the seat and dozed off. He had been practicing for a whole day, he was exhausted.
In order to find a new route, Li Yue and Zhao Shanhe argued again. Zhao Shanhe thought that they should go to the nearby town to find some food, while Li Yue thought that they should hurry up even if they had to starve.
This time, Huang Renkuan did not say anything. He secretly supported Li Yue.
Li Yue said that Zhao Shanhe was too soft-hearted, and that the most important thing was to survive in this chaotic world.
Zhao Shanhe retorted that he was too heartless. Lao Chui's people had not eaten anything for three days, if they stayed here for two more days, they would definitely die! Moreover, all the food that they could eat was given to the awakened warriors first. Now that they had eaten the food that could save their lives, they wanted to abandon them.
